Your loved one deserves to live the best life possible

Watch your loved one thrive in an environment that feels like home

Navigating the aging journey is difficult.

We understand what’s at stake here: it’s not just someone, it’s your loved one.

Meanwhile, it’s on you to make the difficult decisions.

There's a Higher Path for our seniors

The Senior's Journey

There are two paths that seniors take as they age: the lower path and the higher path

Senior care today is reactive, expensive, and siloed. It’s a sick-care system, not a health-care system (designed to keep seniors healthy). Most of us have accepted this status quo because it feels too big and complex to change. Not us. We’re taking the road less traveled and championing a higher standard of senior care.

A defining aspect of the Montessori-inspired lifestyle in our Mary B’s Symphony is the importance of roles/responsibilities that connect with aspects of life that are important to each person. Marsha’s faith is very important to her and is a defining part of her life. She welcomed becoming our “Prayer Leader”. Here, she is seen praying over a fellow Mary B’s Symphony resident who was having a hard day. Bickford of Chesapeake Assisted Living and Memory Care

Resident Ray was having a great workout with Fox Rehab therapist, Bill. Bill makes exercise fun and he loves our residents like family. Therapy is such an important part of our Higher Path approach to care. Nice job, Ray! And thank you, Bill! Bickford of Chesapeake Assisted Living and Memory Care

Music has the extraordinary ability to evoke memories and emotions and can bridge generation gaps. For many seniors, familiar hymns and classic tunes are more than just songs; they remind them of precious moments in their past. At Bickford of Chesapeake we offer different genres of music every Thursday at 2:00 PM. Bickford of Chesapeake Assisted Living and Memory Care

Lacking some more workers to cover better. Need to train new workers better. The nurses there like (names removed) are amazing. (name removed) the recreation coordinator is fabulous but if you don't pay your workers well they will leave.

Something that would be helpful to the family members is placing a wagon or cart near the entrance for family members to use to bring groceries or other items to the residents.
